Trimble launches AI-powered load scale on Hitachi wheel loaders

Hitachi Wheel Loader

Hitachi’s ZW250-6 is among the company’s wheel loaders for which Trimble’s L3180 SmartScale is an option.

Trimble says the Loadrite L3180 SmartScale system uses artificial intelligence for faster, more precise loading. And the company has joined with Hitachi Machinery Loaders America to bring its newest onboard weighing system to Hitachi’s wheel loaders.

Trimble's LoadRite Loading DeviceThe L3180 achieves weighing accuracy on all types of terrain and for operators of various skill levels, Trimble says. The system tracks the loader to monitor performance and can be used to help meet daily loading targets. It also prevents overloading, the company says.

It is available at Hitachi dealers as an option on wheel loaders, from the ZW220-6 with a bucket capacity of 2 cubic yards to the ZW550-6 with 8.3 cubic yards of bucket capacity.

Trimble says the L3180 is a complete revamp of its loader scale system and includes weighing intelligence and solid-state sensors for monitoring loading. The system syncs data through built-in WiFi with its InsightHQ reporting portal. This allows for real-time productivity and performance reports and for consolidating information from all equipment on the jobsite using Loadrite devices, Trimble says.

The company also doubled the size of the touchscreen display to 5.7 inches from previous systems, boosted text size and added colorful graphics, a cleaner interface and faster menu navigation.

The operator can monitor performance from the cab, receiving such information as tons per hour, tons, and truck count. Other personnel can also receive the same information on desktop or mobile devices. A built-in GPS creates a loadout performance heatmap of the data to monitor incorrect stockpile or truck loading. The data can be presented in graphical and dashboard formats, as well.

The L3180 also delivers eTickets via email, with load delivery information from truck drivers to the site foreman or any other designated personnel. The eTickets allow drivers to get on the road quicker by electronically sending updates of materials deliveries, and they reduce paperwork, Trimble says.

The system will be demonstrated at the Trimble Dimensions International User Conference from November 5 to 7 in Las Vegas.

Volvo CE unveils ZEUX: How a LEGO model designed with kids became a prototype for a real autonomous wheel loader

The ZEUX autonomous wheel loader concept employs a scout drone and an adjustable, boom-mounted camera called The Eye, to keep track of its surroundings and indicate focus to nearby humans. Of all the major heavy equipment manufacturers, none has been more outwardly committed to bringing futuristic, autonomous and electrified machines to real-world quarries and jobsites than Volvo. For the last few years, Volvo has been publicly sharing updates on the progress of autonomous machine prototypes like its HX2 carrier (a cab-less, self-driving dump truck) and LX1 wheel loader, and electrified prototypes like the EX1 cable-connected excavator. And though Volvo has plans to get the latest versions of those machines working at a real Skanska quarry this fall, the company isn’t letting up on its push for innovation. The manufacturer even found an opportunity to use its partnership with LEGO to inform the design of its future machines. This week, Volvo and Lego, which have partnered on high...
